Re: 04 E55 AMG: Brake fluid flush

Other benefits include making sure Mercedes knows I own this car for any future recalls/campaigns.
They already have access to that information via the DMV.

Salvaging 18650 Lithium Ion Cells from Laptop Batteries

I have lots of old laptop batteries due to retiring laptops, capacity problems ('doesn't hold a charge'), or pack errors, and have been slacking on recycling them for years. Most of these were from Lenovo and Dell machines, but I had a few oddballs (Toshiba, Compaq, etc...). So I decided to take the...

Re: Take that, Cox!!

Fun fact: Cox recently re-branded my service as 'Preferred 150' and states it has 'up to' 150Mbps of 'speed'. I've never seen a speedtest or a download come close.

Re: Take that, Cox!!

4K YouTube through a browser works. YouTube on the Roku can't decide if it wants to run at 720p or 1080p. Not sure where the problem is as it seems to work correctly on my laptop.
